Impact
A local attacker can read sensitive information without requiring elevated privileges. They only need local access to the host running the application.
Root cause
A service account is configured with overly broad permissions (CWE-250), exposing sensitive files to unauthorized local access.
Affected systems
IBM Aspera Enterprise WebApps 1.0.0 through 1.0.6
CVSS v3.1 · CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Fix & remediation
Upgrade to a version newer than 1.0.6 as specified in IBM advisory 7291755. If immediate patching is not possible, audit and restrict file and system permissions granted to the service account.
AI-suggested. Run it in staging first and check it against the vendor advisory. Why?
NVD description
